In t; e Twelve SCARLET AND BLACK Friday, March 5. I968 Frantz Will Break School Record As Hoopsters Close Home Season Jeff Frantz is almost certain to let a new Grinnell College season scoring record when the Pioneer basketball team closes its home campaign with three games in five days. Coach John Pfitsch‘s crew will host Monmouth at 7:30 pm. to- night, Knox at 4 p.m. tomorrow, and Cornell at 1:30 pm. Tuesday. A 6~2 junior forwardrguard, Frantz has rammed in 411 points in the Pioneers' first 17 tilts for a 24.2 average and is only 34 shy of the school mark of 445 set by John Musser in 195455. He leads the Midwest Conference with a 23.8 average on 310 points in 13 appear- Ances. Frantz's‘name is already prom- Inently displayed in the Grinnell record book. He set a new sopho- more standard of 391 points a year ago and earlier this season claimed new single game point (46) and field goal (22) marks. In addition, Frantz leads the pioneers in the rebounding depart- ment with 158 and is a defensive standout. His performances have been about the only bright spots in an otherwise drab season that has seen Grinnell win only six of 17 games. Now 479 in the Midwest Conference, the loopsters are only one-half game out of the cellar. While the Pioneers have a re epectable 4'3 mark at home, they have lost eight of 10 games on the toad, including the last six. Joining Frantz in the starting lineup for the Monmouth, Knox, and Cornell tilts will be the team’s two other consistent scorers, for- ward Tom Hill and guard Elliott Hibhs, both sophomores. Hill has tallied 2M markers for a 13.2 av- erage and Hibbs has collected 217 for a 12.8 average. The other two starters will come among senior forward - center Clyde Smith, junior forward-cen- ter Ted Risser, and sophomore guard Bob Watt. Smith and Risser, at 673 the tall- est Pioneers, have both been in scoring slumps recently and have seen their averages drop to 8.1 and 7.1, respectively. Watt has a an average.

Jeff Front: All F I By Paul Trigg The annual highlight of the Grinnell winter sports season occurs this weekend as the swimming, wrestling, and indoor track conference meets take place at various midwest locations. In recent years the Pioneers have fared quite well in these meets, and with a little luck they should do so again this year. The swimming team travels to Northfield to splash around in Carleton's new pool, There are apparently three teams with a shot at the title — Beloit, Cornell, and Grinnell. The Ploneers defeated Beloit and lost to Cornell on a disqualification in dual meets. Conference meets are a different story, however, and dual meets cannot be used to predict the outcome. John Kraai, Tony Horton, Ken Adelman, and Ralph Pray should lead the Pioneer assault. It will be, in any event, an exciting meet which could easily be decided at the finale in the 400-yard freestyle relay. All three of the contenders have true teams in the event and they could finish within a body length of each other. The wrestling team, meanwhile, will he in Monmouth carrying the Scarlet and Black flag, possibly without the services of their cap— tain Larry Miller. Miller was iniured last weekend, and thus Bill Barnes and Ken Stl'ubler in the lighter weights and Marty Ringo and Morgan Michel in the heavier weights will have to give the team needed points. Two Grinnellians who could surprise are Mike Death- erage and Gary Wilson. It is not known whether Wilson is eligible, for he just transferred back to Grinnell alter a semester at West Point. At any rate, Cornell, Monmouth, Carleton, and Grinnell are contenders with Cornell cast in the favorites role. The track team is traveling to Chicago for its conference meet, which Grinnell has Won the last three years in a row. Running in the meet, in addition to the ten conference schools, is the University of Chicago, which seems to be head and shoulders above the conference teams. The Pioneers can still win the conference championship, how- ever, if they can outrun the Midwest Conference teams and finish sec- ond to Chicago. The troops are somewhat depleted this season in numbers, and thus they are only entered in three relays instead of the usual five. Paul Patterson, Steve Brintnall, John TePaske and Mike DeWitt should provide strength in the running events while Tom Wood and Jim Miller should score well in the field events. Carleton, Monmouth, Cornell, and Grinnell should be in the race for honors in track. DON'T SLIP OR SPIN! gei' Atlas Snow Tires Collum' By Bob Henderson One hundred swimming devotees packed the Grinnell Water Arena to capacity last Saturday to see the formerly undefeated Pioneer varsity swimmers receive their first setback of the season from the stillrunbeaten Cornell Rams. in 20 years of rivalry, this was only the second victory that Cor- nell has been able to take from the Pioneer mermen. The Rams took the lead and the victory in the last event of the af- ternoon, the ADD-yard freestyle re- lay. The linal tally was 5045. Had it not been for a disqualifi- cation in the final event, Grinnell would have clinched at least a tie for the conference crown. The ju- biiant Pioneer anchor man finished four lengths ahead of his Cornell pursuer only to find that his team had been disqualified. Contrary to pre-meet speculation, only three records were broken, two of them by Cornell. Cornell’s Tom Steinberg set a new pool rec, ord of 5142.2 in the 5mryard free- style, while teammate Jim Green sprinted the ZOO-yard freestyle for a new pool mark, Grinnell’s freshman Steve Holtze showed promise of being a valu- able addition to next year's var- sity by setting a new school and pool record in the loo-yard indi- vidual medley with a time of 1:455. In addition to the new rec- ord, Holtze won the ZOO-yard back- stroke and Zoo—yard breaststroke events for the freshmen. Despite an almost tragic mis- calculation of points in the diving event and numerous false starts in other events, the Grinnell team was able to cop first place honors in diving, the zoo-yard butterfly, yard breaststroke, and the 4% yard medley relay. Winners in the individual events were Richard Lance, Ken Adel- man, Tony Horton, and John Kraai, respectively. By winning the ADO-yard medley relay, Grin- nell gave the Ram team its first: splashing of the yenr, Other Pioneers with good prosa pects of taking points in the con. ference meet at Carleton tomor- row are Ralph Pray (Zooryard and EOOryard freestyle), Bill Lontz (60- yard treestyle), and Rog Abenr dl'oth (diving). Frosll to End Year Willi Knox Yearlings Tomorrow aftemoon at 1:00 the promising freshman hoopsters try to improve their a and 2 record against a strong Knox quintet. Following their fourth Victory (over Saga) Tuesday, coach An- derson feels his freshman five is ready for a peak performance with all members of the squad scheduled to see action. A winning season would be the first in sev- eral years for a fresh ball club. Eager to avenge last week’s loss to Cornell, the starting five which has played well throughout most of the season will be Mike Sch< wartz and Jim Poison at guards, Roger Able at center, and Greg Rankin and Dick Musser at for- wards. With all five starters av- eraging in double figures, the team is averaging over at) points a game and should display a fast-moving offense as well as a bustling de- tense.
